Electrolysis, as an alternative way for hydrogen production using flow meters
In this blog I will highlight an application using both a thermal- and Coriolis mass flow controller. An application for a customer in the field of Renewables & Environment showing us an alternative way to split water for hydrogen production.
Hydrogen production
Hydrogen production is a multi billion dollar industry worldwide of which the major part is consumed on-site in oil refining and in the production of ammonia and to convert heavy petroleum sources into lighter fraction suitable for use as fuels. The most known technogies used here are steam reforming, electrolysis and thermolysis. About 95% of the hydrogen produced is from using fossil fuels.
Steam reforming technology
The overwhelming majority of hydrogen is generated in a chemical way, through the reaction of hydrocarbons such as natural gas with steam at high temperatures, the so-called steam reforming technology. In this process, hydrogen is released from the natural gas with the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide as a by-product
